Key words: Football, Physiological variable, Resting Pulse Rate, Breath Holding Time and Cardio Respiratory Endurance INTRODUCTION Yoga is basically an otherworldly order dependent on a very unobtrusive science, which centers on bringing agreement among psyche and body. It is a craftsmanship and science of sound living. The word 'Yoga' is gotten from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', signifying 'to join' or 'to burden' or 'to join together'. According to Yogic sacred texts the act of Yoga prompts the association of individual awareness with that of the Universal Consciousness, demonstrating an ideal congruity between the psyche and body, Man and Nature. As indicated by current researchers, everything known to mankind is only a sign of a similar quantum atmosphere. One who encounters this unity of presence is supposed to be in yoga, and is named as a yogi, having achieved a condition of opportunity alluded to as mukti, nirvana or moksha. Subsequently the point of Yoga is Self-acknowledgment, to beat a wide range of sufferings prompting 'the condition of freedom' (Moksha) or 'opportunity' (Kaivalya). Living with opportunity in varying backgrounds, wellbeing and agreement will be the primary destinations of Yoga practice."Yoga" likewise alludes to an internal science involving an GORTERIA JOURNAL VOLUME 34, ISSUE 1 - 2021 ISSN: 0017-2294 Page No: 69

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of yoga practices on selected
physiological parameters of University of Kerala inter-collegiate men football players. The
study was conducted on thirty football players from various colleges affiliated to Kerala
University of Kerala, who have participated in University of Kerala inter-collegiate men
football tournaments. Subjects were randomly assigned equally into two groups, Group –I
underwent yogic practices group (n=15) and group II (n=15) acted as control group. Resting
pulse rate, Breath holding time and Cardio respiratory endurance were selected as creation
variables. The training programme was restricted to 12 weeks. Resting pulse rate was
assessed by Radial pulse method, Breath holding time was assessed by Manuel method and
Cardio Respiratory Endurance was assessed by Cooper’s 12 minutes run/walk test. The data
was collected from the experimental and Control Groups before and after the 8 weeks of
training programme were statically examined with Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Resting Pulse Rate, Breath Holding Time and Cardio Respiratory Endurance showed
